WITH A BARRIE BOOK, by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON Poet's Biography
First Line: An old year dies, and a new is born
Last Line: Lo, here's barrie!
Subject(s): Books; Hate; Holidays; Laughter; Lies; Love; New Year; Reading

AN old year dies, and a new is born;
And the world holds lies and hate and scorn.
But love and laughter are in it, too,
Laughter and love, they can be for you:
Dark things pass, and the dear things tarry;
Lo, here's Barrie!
